During our third screening of Century 21 Calling, we will be taking a |
||||
|
look at the development of satellite communications. From the shiny orbs |
||||
|
of the 1950s to our present day SATCOM systems. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
How do they work? How do they get into space? What happens when the |
||||
|
systems break down? Why are there no more shiny orb satellites in space? |
||||
|
|
||||
|
This and many more questions will put into the light of today, via the |
||||
|
present. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Later in the evening you can join mmths on a trip through the radio |
||||
|
spectrum, to listen to the satellite pirates in GEO Oribt and drown in |
||||
|
the noise of the static and signals of ghost satellites. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
mmths is a sound artist currently based in Rotterdam. In his practice, |
||||
|
he often is fascinated by outer space activities. His current research |
||||
|
deals with harvesting satellite transmissions and signal hunting as a |
||||
|
tool for exploring live performance and composition. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
In a series of screenings called “Century 21 Calling” we will have a |
||||
|
look at archival industrial films, corporate infomercials, tv reports |
||||
|
and historical documentary of yesterday that shaped the imagination of |
||||
|
tomorrow and we hold it up to the light of the present. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
“Century 21 Calling” is an event by the collective *Save_as* and hosted at |
||||
|
Varia in Rotterdam. |

De derde editie van Century 21 Calling is gewijd aan de ontwikkeling van |
||||
|
satellietcommunicatie. Van de spiegelende kogels in de jaren 50 tot |
||||
|
hedendaagse SATCOM systemen. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Hoe werken deze dingen? Hoe krijgt men ze de ruimte in? Wat gebeurt er |
||||
|
als ze kapotgaan? En waarom zijn er geen kogelvormige satellieten meer? |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Na de screening neemt mmths ons mee op een reis door het radiospectrum. |
||||
|
In zijn performance bezoeken we de ontmoetingsplekken van |
||||
|
satellietpiraten en worden we ondergedompeld in de ruis en signalen van |
||||
|
spooksatellieten. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
mmths is een geluidskunstenaar in Rotterdam. Hij is gefascineerd door |
||||
|
wat er in het heelal gebeurt en zijn huidige werk gaat over de ontvangst |
||||
|
van onbekende radiosignalen en satellieten als basis voor live |
||||
|
performance en compositie. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
“Century 21 Calling” gebruikt archiefmateriaal uit de industrie, |
||||
|
infomercials van bedrijven, tv uitzendingen en documentaires die in het |
||||
|
verleden ons beeld van de toekomst hebben gevormd en gebruikt die om het |
||||
|
heden te doorgronden. Het is een initiatief van *Save_as* en vindt plaats |
||||
|
in Varia in Rotterdam. |
